Mmmmm, perhaps I’ve been lucky on my 250000km on motorcycles since 2009, coz I’ve never had a flat tyre. I suppose I’m lucky coz I also never carried a spare tyre on any of my motorcycles!

 

I carry an emergency repair kit.  It's come in handy on three occasions.

Yes, very wise. I also carried a repair kit and compressor whenever I went out of town.

Rode through Lameroo today.  One of the silos has silo art now.

Another ride theme - A Solo Silo Tour.  Let the planning begin.

You've got a whole heap of them in the north west of your state.  I've got most of them.  Here on Yorke Peninsula there's now a water tower art trail.

Predictive text is ready to bite anytime, anyone, anywhere.

...Yes, I get that most modern tyres are only supposed to be run in one direction but that shouldn't create an issue short term ...

Other than, using a directional tyre in the wrong direction will possibly:

• Result in an unroadworthy vehicle, and leave the driver exposed to a penalty from VicPol (as happened to a mate).
• Void the vehicle insurance - in the event of a crash and a sharp assessor or VicPol noticing (and perhaps another penalty).

This would be a problem with EV and ICE (with directional tyres).
